Be it enacted by the King's most Excellent Majesty, by and with the advice and consent of the Lords Spiritual and Temporal, and Commons, in this present Parliament assembled, and by the authority of the same, as follows:—
1 Protection of name, uniform, &c. of chartered associations.
(1) His Majesty may from time to time, by Order in Council made on the application of any association incorporated by Royal charter not being an association representative of any profession or business, protect—
(a ) the name of the association; and
(b ) any special name or designation specified in the Order and used by the association for the members thereof, or for the members of any organisation constituted by the association in pursuance of their charter; and
(c ) any uniform with distinctive markings or badges used by the association and described in the Order; and
(d ) any badge to be worn without uniform used by the association and described in the Order:
Provided that nothing in any such Order or in this Act shall deprive any bon fide national organisation of the right to use any designation, uniform or badge which at the time of the passing of this Act is in regular use by that organisation.
(2)—(i) An Order in Council under this section shall not be made unless notice of the application for an Order has been given in such manner and accompanied by such particulars as the Secretary of State may direct.
(ii) The Secretary of State shall consider any objections to an Order which are made by or on behalf of any persons or societies affected or likely to be affected by the Order.
(iii) An Order in Council under this section shall be laid as soon as may be before both Houses of Parliament, and if an address is presented to His Majesty by either House of Parliament within the next subsequent twenty-one days on which that House has sat next after any such Order is laid before it, praying that the Order may be annulled, His Majesty in Council may annul the Order, and it shall thenceforth be void, but without prejudice to the validity of anything previously done thereunder.
(iv) Any Order in Council under this Act may be amended or revoked by a subsequent Order in Council.
